Parvac Vaccination

Does anyone know anything about the Parvac vaccination?

I assume it only covers parvovirus? Is it short acting? Why is it used instead of the usual vaccines? If a pup has only had parvac, does it then need to have the C5/C3 and booster to cover everything else?

Thanks.

Parvac does only cover Parvo and is often used to cover young pups, or animals at risk from parvo during an outbreak etc. Sometimes used just as a precaution during an outbreak if the dogs vaccination status is unknown.

Some people only vaccinate against Parvo, nothing else, parvac would be used then.

Some people like to give an extra parvo booster during the vaccination schedule for young dogs like rotties etc who seem to be more prone to parvo. So they may give a Parvac at 4 or 5 months after a course of C4 or whatever.

If you want to cove the pup for everything else then yes it needs to be vaccinated with a combination vaccine.

Yes, this is what we do. We follow a normal vaccination routine as babies, then follow up with Parvac at 6 months.
